What's the Pressure (ATA) in a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chamber mean?
This article will explain the difference between PSI and ATA in hyperbaric oxygen therapy
At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi, which is equal to 1.0 atmospheric pressure, or 1.0 ATA. Soft hyperbaric oxygen chambers pressure up from 1.3 to 1.5 ATA depending on the chamber model, At One Natural Health in Lincoln our chamber is 1.5 ATA for quicker results, which equates to 22.04 psi of pressure, far higher than atmospheric pressure at sea level.
Hard (metal) hyperbaric oxygen chambers pressure up from 2.0 to 3.0 ATA's of pressure. While this is the ideal pressure for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the advantage of soft oxygen chambers over hard chambers is affordability for the patient, as hard chambers can cost clinics between $30,000 and $1,000,000 per chamber which leads to extremely high costs for patients.
Which hyperbaric chamber pressure is best?
Research concludes that higher pressure in chambers is ideal for most conditions. Yet treatment affordability is the main concern for most patients. If chambers are between 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 ATA, patients will receive the best results in a 1.5 ATA chamber.
How Much Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Cost?
The industry average for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy costs between $70 and $95 dollars. We are proud to keep our Hyperbaric Oxygen affordable to allow the needed 5 to 40 therapy sessions that aid healing in the majority of conditions.
